| Title | Failure to Install Sequential Timing Device for Fire Pumps |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated Non-Cited Violation of License Condition 2.C(6) for the failure to install a sequential timing device for the diesel driven fire pump. Specifically, the standard for fire pumps required that controllers for multiple pump units, such as those at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, incorporate a sequential timing device to prevent any one pump starting simultaneously with any other pump. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and initiated a modification to install a time delay for the pump. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because the failure to install a sequential timing device for the diesel driven fire pump could result in both fire pumps starting simultaneously and a significant water hammer which could damage fire protection piping or equipment. The finding was of very low safety significance due to a combination of low ignition frequencies for the affected areas and only one train of equipment would be affected for fires in those areas. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Self and Independent Assessments, because the licensee did not conduct a self-assessment of sufficient depth. Specifically, a self-assessment reviewed an Unresolved Item (URI) relating to this issue for another plant, but failed to identify that the Perry Nuclear Power Plant had the same configuration and requirements as described in the URI. |
